I have KV-1S and it’s not THAT OP (it’s still kinda OP). If you have time to aim, it is. You can’t snapshot shit and the armor is lame (especially compared to minitiger, VK3601H) and HP is lame too. Pretty much everything BUT the alpha or mobility is lame.
My reasoning for all the whine is that it’s basically a medium that does 390 damage, and some people have been one-shotted in their StugIIIs too many times and their jimmies got rustled. The high alpha is okay as long as it fights tanks with high HP, not run around oneshotting tier 5s.
So nerf it’s mobility, keep the 122 and it’s all great.

Yeah, the damage of the 122 is kinda OP but the aiming time and accuracy is horrible, also the reload time is super long between 14s to19s. All tanks that has below 390 HP should not face the KV-1S at front.

I’d say it’s more to test the mechanics, and because most people play standard TD’s rather than prem it makes sense to put it for Standard TD’s first then modify it before translating it to Premium TD’s as well.

No. WG try to avoid nerfing or buffing Premium vehicles if possible. When they do perform a significant nerf the tanks may well be refundable (See SP). Tanks that get buffed or are too strong tend to get removed (Type 59, KV-5 with SPrem)

L2P. Just fall back in cover before shooting. Hint: look for bushes to turn solid. It’ll migrate any nerf for TD visibility. Besides – if you played any high alpha – low armor tank – you’ll know how to get on the new TDs just fine. They never got bonus like a TDs yet always worked just fine for landing shots on the enemies undetected if you knew how to handle them.

Ugh though Tiger 1 and Tiger P don’t need a fucking nerf. It wasnt even OP it had no armour what was the point? Tiger P didnt have too much HP either. Why nerf the Tiger when u got tanks like the T57 Heavy, KV-1S and T18 running around… fuck off WG… T18 got nerfed, but its the bloody armour and derp gun which the problem…

No one cares about jgpz 4 because almost no one plays it. And ppl play the tiger.
Almost no one plays MT 25 and most of other buffed machines.
Most. T32 and Bt-7 are fun to play. Sometimes. They get a slight buff. That is all the good news.
Now, the bad news: They ruin hellcat’s run and gun ability, nerf the inexistent DpM, and the very usefull hp advantage of the Tiger P, nerf AT 7(srsly? what is wrong with it?), yet KW-!S, which is a much bigger problem than an AT 7 stays untouched.
Did I make myself clear?

Oh wait, so tanks that noone plays don’t need buffs?? Don’t you think the reason noone plays jpz.IV is that it’s shit? Doesn’t it DESERVE this buff?
Your logic that the tanks that aren’t massively played aren’t important is really bad. Stop thinking that way.
The problem with the hellcat was that it was too good at the run&gun thing.
The AT 7 will have slightly less DPM (which was insane already), but who cares.
You know I might even go and play VK3001P now that it’s buffed. I’m half way through my Pz.IV already anyway.

uh… maybe so that people would play different tanks instead of all playing 2 or 3 OP tanks? The other tanks aren’t there for decoration, they’re there to be played. If people aren’t playing it, it’s perfectly logical for them to make people want to play those tanks.

The Tiger nerf isn’t THAT bad. 0.1 increase to loading time and 0.1 decrease of accuracy won’t show that much and the accuracy spread won’t neither, the hitpoints tho got over-reduced. It would be fine at 1450, not 1400. But I guess that brings it on-par with it’s (much) slower rival, KV-3 (please no whine about russian bias) which was supposed to be the damage soaker.

The Hellcat however, got it’s face crushed in by the nerfbat. The aim spread is now horrifying (whether it be the turret or hull), which will kinda hinder it’s ability to use gangsta drive-by techniques. A welcome nerf, but I’m still glad I played it before this xD

Also good to see that statpadder T18 get a mobility nerf, it was just insane before.

They didn’t significantly hurt the TIger’s DPM, which is its big selling point. The HP nerf might actually be the smartest move, as atm Tiger can solo any tier 7 heavy that isn’t a hulldown T29 at close range due to both the DPM and HP pool. With less HP, maybe it will go back to not being as brutal a brawler as it currently is.

Even though Tiger I doesn’t deserve the nerf, it can have this one, Tiger P on the other hand already became quite bad because it got a huge reload nerf. Tiger P now gets even worse reload, but if the Tiger I is OP, what is the IS then, or what is the KV-3 then?
Then IS would be super OP because it does more damage, it is faster and it has more armor. KV-3 has the same, but it is slower and has even more armor. So this is clearly Russian bias.

Since when is IS faster? It’s speed is capped at 34 km/h. Also, yes it’s better than Tiger in terms of raw damage. But all the other gun stats are a lot worse, reload is worse, don’t even get me started on accuracy or aimtime. The KV-3 is the Tiger P of russians – similar to the IS but even slower (with the same front armour btw, more side armour tho) with even worse gun stats (longer reload – even KV-4 has longer reload than the IS on the 122 – I know because I own both).
Tiger & Tiger P versus IS & KV-3 is pretty balanced, it’s just that russians have raw firepower that may seem scary at first, but the Germans win on the long run – firng two shots between one russian one, hitting each target with the accuracy and high penetration.
When it comes to evaluating tanks you must focus in more than just one aspect, sure russians win with alpha at 390>240 but germans win in HP anytime at 1500>1259/1400 etc. etc… different tanks for different roles, but still the Tiger vs an IS one-on-one wins both in close and long ranges.

IS and KV-3 really are not as good as the Tiger and Tiger P.
TBH the Tiger nerf was a well done nerf. The Tiger is too good ATM although it is not OP. Now it should be more balanced and on par with the other tier 7 heavies.

Also lot of people calling T29 and AT7 being OP ? I like when most players shooting to my turret when i have hull no covered and then complaining or dont know how to aim on weak spots, AT7 can be really easy outplayed, russian players need more excercise and not going 1 vs 1 them, then writing on forums and asking for nerfs..

Oh? So again, you’re somehow right?? How are the russian opponents of the German mediums good? How is T-34-85 better than any of the german meds??
So when they nerf germans it’s russian bias, but if they buff them it’s “this buff in not that big”.
I want you to look back at your comments and realise how obvious your hipocrisy is.

@alex sonny
It’s really hard to take someone serious who is trying to justify KV-1S as not OP. Since that none of your comments have any value. Just stfu your mouth and never again talk about hypocrisy while you are the one

Yeah? Did I ever say KV-1S is not OP? No. I’m just pissed about all the idiots shouting RUSSIAN BIAS, while WTE100 is just ridicolous and is GERMAN! But nooooo it’s no german bias, russian bias clearly all the way.
Also, if I’m a hypocrite you’re one too as you think nothing of my arguments because of my opinion. That means you don’t judge things equally, but you let your opinion dictate everything you do into the extreme.
“Oh we disagree in something? NONE OF YOUR COMMENTS HAVE NO VALUE STFU AND NEVER TALK AGAIN”
I have disagreed with you many times, but I never went calling you out like that. This is the only time I’ll get down to your level, then I’ll be quiet again. But FYI, it’s not because of your “superior arguments” (pha! Those can’t even be called arguments), it’s because I will never win with people like you and I won’t even try anymore.

Reason why wtf e100 is OP and still not nerfed is bcs dumb monkeys at WG implemented that TD out of their asses. The reason why it’s not yet nerfed is bcs it makes tons of cash for them with all the people grinding it/converting exp to get it. You see. WG’s russian bias is stronk as long as it doesn’t make a lot of cash. Then they don’t care whether it has red star or iron cross on it’s side.

Both Tigers nerfed quite hard. They were anything but OP. This nerf makes no sense at all.
The Sturer Emil did not recieve any buff, even though it is the worst Tier 7 TD in WoT.
The T29 and Hellcat nerfed very hard, they were at least OP in hands of good players.
The most OP TD in game (AT-7) with a server WR over 54% only got a small nerf. Makes no sense at all.

That can be applied to any damn tank. I once hit an IS-3 with my M41 for 1100 damage, it then caught fire and died. I ineshotted one of the better armoured tier 8 heavies, yet that doesn’t prove anything.

perfectly angled tiger has like 135 effective armor on front and sides, in comparison to other tier 7 heavies:
-unangled t29 hull is similar (and t29 has almost as strong sides, so its not like it cant angle),
-BP well duh, tiger P well duh #2
-the amx 45 which is so hated for being paper, has 90mm under decent angle, cant angle out of autobounce angle so id say about 110 effective
- IS and KV3 120mm front 90mm sides, pretty fucken strong compared to tiger if you ask me!
-IS2 90mm front under epic angle with also 90mm sides

additionally! You have to remember tiger has only very small tollplate, except for that it has HUGE FLAT hull – its really hard to miss it on medium ranges. At the same time tanks like IS/kv3/t29 and even IS2 to some degree you have to wait for dispersion to go down because its so easy to bounce off some weird angled plate.

IS, IS2 and KV3 have big driver viewports, and IS LFP are pretty weak. Tiger is 100mm all over.

It doesn’t mean the Tiger has better armor than all of them, it just means the armor is decent enough to stop some rounds. And in some cases, better armor.
Cases like when the enemy has a height advantage. All the other’s armor gets worse with the angle, the Tiger’s gets better.
And there are few perfectly flat maps, I would say that’s a not something to overlook.

I play sturer emil with stock gun. IS is a better sniping tank that sturer emil…no joking. next to me was an IS that camped. he hit and penetrated the enemy every time, i barely could hit him..and i am a pretty good player, i know where and how to aim. RNG is stronk on that one, cant wait for 128mm gun :D

I have actually killed the hellcat by spotting it myself, in my SPG, more then you might think… Esp with the idiots drives in a straight line.

But to even get to me they have to live through most of the game but I tend to drop shells in their turrets at 500m and lolz when they pop. Thus I don’t see them as OP at all. Besides, camo wise, there are other tanks that tend to vanish far far more often then the Hellcat.

We don’t care about your experience in SPG’s which can easily counter Hellcats. We care about peoples experience in normal tanks that go against the OP Hellcat.
Just because you are good at playing SPG’s does not mean that Hellcat’s are not OP.

Going against hellcats with derpguns is fun too. Today I had the honour of meeting two while testing out my now elited pz.IV H. Every time they were distracted they got 300 damage flung in their face :D

Aim at all the crap on the roof, pen, kill loader, win.
The only tank in the AT series that does it’s armor justice is the AT2
All the others are cheese.
Cheese with some armor plating here and there, but all you have to do is eat around the armor to om nom nom cheese.

Excellent point, sir. But some of my tanks have a hard time hitting the holes in that cheese with their cheese.
And then the cheese is too cheese to be OP like the cheese.
And then you kill Roshan three times to get even more cheese!

Actually AT-7 is the best AT series hands down.
1. One of the best of BOTH penetration and DPM in tier 7, probably the best combination of those in tier 7. I haven’t even count the brilliant accuracy.
2. Right side gun makes AT-7 capable to peek only it’s gun and track to the enemies and destroying literally everything in front of it. No more hat weakspot.

Yes, you could shoot the right hull with high pen gun or gold ammo, but AT-7 could simply outDPM you to death (remember it also has good HP). If you could engage your enemies from medium-long range with gun only peeking you could literally block the entire flank.

So I think I’m okay with that, although it would be more fair if they buff AT-8 or AT-15. But again I have researched Tortoise so I personally won’t be benefited by it.

Yeah this was talked about for a while now. It’s not horrible, it will remove the annoying long-range plinkers (such as the AT-2), and the more annoying long-range killers (rheinmetallborsigthing), slowly eating away your HP while not being seen. The big ones have no camo anyway, so it’s a slight nerf right where it’s needed.

See. This just proves how you know shit about what you talk you fucking monkey boy. Everyone whines about TDs is bcs of T10 TDs like waffleshit, 183 shit, and what not and yet biggest loser in all that crap are lower tier TDs that are perfectly fine except few(rhm borsig).

Yeah yeah supporting your arguments with insults won’t convince me, you douche.
I agree on the waffenträger, but the FV 183 is perfectly fine. It’s your bigoted opinion blinding you again, how many times have you been “instakilled! OP as fuck!!11″ by one of those? I can’t remember a single case.
I can tho remember that thing taking ~1800 HP in one hit from my E5. Sure I raged, but that’s the only point of that tank – all the other times the HESH hit the tracks and did the standard ~800 damage. Your problem is that if it happens one time, it happens always (in your mind). You either don’t pay attention in battles or just judge tanks by their paper stats. Sure the HESH does 1750 damage on paper, but that’s far from the actual game situation – proving YOU are the one that doesn’t understand how stuff works.
And let’s be honest, half the low-tier TD playerbase doesn’t yet understand how camo works anyway or they don’t use it as much (fast gameplay, less camping, less tactics).

Regarding your attitude: I am honest when I say that nothing disproves your argument like talking down on someone or every second word being “shit”. Sure even I insult people, but not near your level when you treat everyone like they’re the water in your toilet bowl.
Believe me, it doesn’t make you look good in anyone’s eyes. Make coherent arguments and people may even listen to you more often, now you’re just an angry troll.

183 is perfectly fine
__________
Why am i even trying to argue with you. You are literally too stupid. And no i don’t give a single fuck if it makes me look bad in the eyes of the people i most likely will never meet in my life. Specially if that people have no fucking clue what they are talking about, but acting like they do.

” Specially if that people have no fucking clue what they are talking about, but acting like they do.”
Literaly everything you say can be applied to you as well.
If you’re not going to do some self-reflection and pay me some decent respect (like not calling me a monkey boy) I am done talking to you.

You must have nerves of steel. I stopped after the rebalance, because waiting 40 seconds just to miss with my M12 was too disappointing, so I started playing the japanese tanks. At least there the disappointment stops at tier 8.

T29 was always damn near OP. These changes will make it less OP. Dont know whether they ruined the tank or noth though…
T32 accuracy should be 0,39 WG…
Also, M46 Patton with M47 turret, change it to just a M47 (better armor and top speed) and buff accuracy to 0,39 too.
Then Use M46 as a premium tier 8…

M46 does not fit the characteristics of a premium tank. It has a perfect fit into the American med line, and it’s also a mass-produced tank (don’t use Type 59 as argument, that one was an exception and it’s in the main line as the WZ-120).

The Pershing/Patton stock turret is what both used historically, Pershing’s top turret is from the M45- it’s a 105 derp version of the Persh, the extra mantlet armour is to balance out the lighter gun at the front. This ofc wouldn’t work with the 90mm AT guns, especially the longer one.

Actually the M48 need a buff the most. It’s view range is neglected by its terrible camo rating, the gun is “meh” except for slight advantage on firing on the move. Armour is garbage and speed is just higher than a 4202 and E5.

Time will tell whether there will be russian nerfs. But the russians are one of the most balanced nations, because it was the first in-game. The germans had the engine rebalance, which screwed up a lot of the previous balanced stats and now it’s slowly recovering. It’s almost like beta with wild nerfs and buffs everywhere.
I partially blame the power creep.

alex sonny you conveniently forget for example that very recently, Jgpz IV got a mobility and gun traverse nerf. So this “buff” is just about restoring it to its previous performance. And it doesn’t matter really, because it’s awesome thanks to its top gun, the 88mm. It’s a little, invisible, DPM beast, and most people will say “it’s shit” because statistically, most people are useless players. It eats those “OP-1s” for breakfast. If you have more than brain cells, that is.

Same with saying T29 is OP – well just remove his strong spot by driving around him, FFS. And anyone saying KV-1s is OP is a noob as well. It has no armor, anywhere. After he shoots, you have at least 14 seconds to do whatever you want to it, and it catches fire with every two shots to the read or sides. AT-7 OP? Again, just fucking get around it. Stupid noobs expect to take every tank head-on and if it bounced or out-DPMs them, yell “NERF!”… But I guess baddies will be baddies and cry to buff any tank they play and nerf any tank that they can’t kill.

Yes because we all know WG makes maps for actually flanking and playing the game in more funnier way. *looks at “reworked” Severogorsk* Yea flank an AT-7 there if he has even a bit of clue what is he doing.

Did jpz.IV really get nerfed? In the past perhaps but now it’s seen some buffs.
But I agree with you on the OP tanks. Most of these are one-trick ponies, but people only see that one trick – like KV-1S’s massive alpha scares them so much they don’t see the paper box behind the gun, and it takes no effort at all to exploit that mentality with KV-1S. It’s real problem is the mobility – a heavy with such alpha shouldn’t (and couldn’t) run around like a medium. Also gun depressiom.
Same with T29, but it’s even easier to take it down – all it takes is some teamwork and it’s defeated. Two tanks, one from the right and one from the left. Yet people are too scared to take a single shell that they stand still and try to pen that turret (which obviously won’t work). But IMO T29 is pretty okay, while KV-1S is too easy to exploit – even noobs can play it well and that’s not good.

SU-101 will require more then that WarGaming.
Look at the useless tier 9 BL-9 Gun on ISU 152. It is useless when ISU has BL 10. Put the damned gun on damned SU 101
There. Damned SU 101 fixed in 30 seconds. WG, why can you not DO that???

Well they never said they’ll nerf it outright, that is a construct.
There was a mentioned split in “upcoming patches”. So they never promised anything specific, it will probably come in 9.3.
There was talk about buffing the most UP tanks and nerfing the most OP ones, I guess this is the start of it, so there’s more to come.

Lots of british buffs, unneeded AT7 nerf which suffers already, I’m not seeing any KV-1S changes.. My Tiger I is also disappointed. Feels like the developers made up excuses to nerf Americans and buff Russians again.

Yeah, I’m at WZ-120 and it’s pretty unique. The WZ-13x are fun too, so much different from the AMX 13s on the same tiers – the mix of medium and light that is the WZ-132 suited me very well and was very fun to play.
Wz-120 can be a T-54 with the 100mm or some kind of monster with the 122.

“Excuses to nerf americans and buff russians”
GOD DAMMIT DO YOU NOT SEE THE GERMAN BUFFS? They buffed more german than russian tanks, you thickheaded moron. If you go down this comment line you’ll see people like you, saying shit like you, and with each one I get more and more mad.
You just can’t escape your bigoted ignorant point of view where there’s always russian bias. You people are literaly incapable of coherent or critical thinking, seeing what you want to see in anything, never looking it without YOUR OWN BIAS! Just stop paddling the “russian bias” BS please.
I’m sorry I was rude but I had to take it out on someone.

That’s simply pathetic. Nerf after buff, buff after nerf. Sure, Hellcat should be nerf a bit (camo) and T29 too but Tigers? Even Tiger P? Why? Cuz some damn brainless zombies have problems with them? And noone has a problem with KV-1S and the rest of this branch?
And this “coming” nerf of Sherman… WG stuff – stop drinking.

Lets see…
They nerfed Hellcat. Good. It was OP.
They did not redesign the HP systems for tier 4-7. Bad. VERY bad. Dissapoint.

Tiger 1 nerf… Not sure. WOuld accept it with a gun depression buff.
Tiger P nerf. Do not know :P

T29 Nerf. Well it was near OP before, but not that fun to play (slugish, slow aim time) . Those that were good with it will be EXACTLY as good with it now as before. Those that were not will be slightly worse.

pretty much this about T29 :D
they nerfed it in the way the tank is more annoying to drive but still the same OP hulldown shit as it used to be. They basically nerfed attributes that were not OP at all.

You’re the fucking nationalist bigot here. Can you not re-read your comment and realise it you sound like a fucking Nazi propaganda officer?!
Also can you not read the German BUFFS??? More German tanks got buffed than russian tanks and yet all you see is one of the fucking oldest vehicles in the game and how it’s “russian bias”. You are the bigot here, unable to step off your high horse thinking you know what’s really going on. You read “tiger nerf” and suddenly that somehow proves your point, yet you completely ignore everything that works against it.
You’re like those hardcore Cristian retards.
No matter how much evidence you present the’ll still believe in a magical man in the sky and a book of fairytales (or in russian bias in your case).

Please, feel free to check again. And actually read the comments.
Also I don’t play KV-1S because honestly I’m not good with it, my winrate with that is around 50% and the only thing worse is the Chi-to which I really cannot win with.
I much rather statpad with my Churchill III.
Also, how is “statpadding” bad? Your stats improving is always a welcome sight, it means you’re improving! My WR rising above 52% in a year is a welcome sight, so is the improvement in my WN8 – I play tanks with which I’m good to “repair” my stats after playing my grind tanks – like my stock KV-4, in which it’s really hard to carry games.
I just realised accusing people of trying to improve (even with “OP” tanks) with something negative is pretty weird.
It’s like when they made fun of me in elementary school when I had straight 5s (equivalent of an A). The joke was on those dumbasses.
It’s all about jealousy. Now my grades dropped and I am jealous of the people with good grades but I don’t talk bad about them because I’m a decent fucking person.

How am I blind if other Germans got obvious buffs too? Can you not read??
Four out of six german tanks here got buffed. And about the KV-1S it’s been said it’d be split, but no date was given.
But since you all immediately take “in the future” as “next patch” you whine about how there’s no nerf.
If you play tier 6 SO MUCH that 1 KV-1S per battle bothers you, stop playing until it gets nerfed.
Oh, and regarding the Christians – I was referring to what Ken Ham was like versus Bill Nye: when asked “would any ammount of evidence change your mind?” Ken Ham simply replied “no”.
That meant he already had his mind set, and thus wasn’t searching for answers to the questions, but for the questions that fit his answer.
Much like you point at KV-1S as the sole proof of the alledged russian bias. And will you ever be convinced otherwise? No. When KV-1S gets nerfed/split you’ll just find some other “example of russian bias” to whine over.
I guarantee it.

I expected the tiger to be nerfed to the ground, but looks like the nerfs aren’t as bad, annoying but it doesn’t make the tiger bad.

The T29 and Hellcat got nerfed HARD however, slow moving and turning, greater dispersion, and finally noticeably increased reload time

Thank god they decided to unnerf the VK2801 a bit and they’re giving the MT-25 the mobility it deserves, right not the MT-25 is okay acceleration, but the turning caused by the ground resistance is just AWFUL.

T18 finally got the nerf it deserves, they can’t nerf the armor as its historical, but now its much easier to flank.

Hopefully the buff from 0.41 to 0.40 acc on the T32 will make it worth getting. The T32 is a good hull, but the gun accuracy was poor for some reason. Having the worst penetration and worse accuracy than a IS3′s BL-9 is silly. The shots loved to swerve around the target, hitting anything BUT the target.

What makes me think WG will just Buff the Russian tanks is that those 122mm r hitting to much at driving – turning the turret und shot without aiming,

but Hellcat, T29 and both Tigers need a nerf. Thats so sad, that WG just can hit hard with Nerfs and dont make a smoth chaning system into the game, cause they cant bring small patches more often.
I see a Hellcat buff now incoming as the noobs ll fail more with it. Like the T29.

And just i think T29 is not OP, like Tiger P just ppl r to dumb to fight that Tanks.

U did got the point and if u think it is the overmatch part that makes u bounce u r dumb.

I mean just the part that the fck KV-1S, KV-3 and IS dont ve to aim. They drive, they turn turrret and shot and hit, almost every fuck shot, and that has nothing to do what what WG listed in patchnotes.
Thats what makes me hating those idiotic nerf and buffs, that we didnt get to know al variables.
But well make RUSSIAN TANKS VERY STRONK and UNBEATABLE cause Stalin just killed Millions of ppl for the victory over Hitler.

Look closer. Camo baonus after shooting for TDs removed. No more invisible after shooting machines, which was supposed to compensate for TD not being able to dive back into cover cause of no turrets.
This will hurt stealth relying TDs really hard.

pretty much this…
I can understand this nerf on big TDs as foch, isu, t30, ferdi etc…
but removing stealth from things like StuG, etc is stupid.. those lower tier TDs have ~130 alpha… it takes 10+ shots to take down something… and it has like 250-300hp … getting one-shot by 50% of tanks it can encounter…

So it’s turret is finally vulnerable from the sides as it should be long time ago and yet still by far the best turret from all t9 mediums and one of the best in game. Oh the horror. Tell me again how many people shoot the T-54′s turret in the first place? While you are at it please tell me again how T-54 is totally not the one of the most OP tanks in the game thanks to broken HEAT spam.

“So it’s turret is finally vulnerable from the sides as it should be long time ago”
120 mm too much for you?

“still by far the best turret from all t9 mediums”
Object 430 II and WZ-120
E-50 and Centurion 7/1 are comparable frontally

“Tell me again how many people shoot the T-54′s turret in the first place”
It is now a viable target for 200 mm and higher penetration guns.

” tell me again how T-54 is totally not the one of the most OP tanks in the game thanks to broken HEAT spam”
Yeah, those HEATs are incredibly strong. They are also the only thing pushing the tank above average.

It’s also the HEATs what makes this tank bleed credits. Every battle is a monetary loss, guaranteed.
Besides that, the nuclear bird makes a great point.
You can use the HEAT argument anywhere anyway, why does it apply to russians alone? Every tank will overperform with premium ammo, because that’s the point of premium ammo. Overperformance.

E-50 and Centurion 7/1 are comparable frontally

I stopped reading there. Comparing T-54s and E-50s turret is just plain dumb. One of the weakest points of E-50 since it got the hull buff to 150 you are comparing with 10 times better turret on T-54. Sure, whatever floats your boat. T-54 has been overperforming since closed beta and still is, but hey let’s be ignorat and close our eyes, because if you can’t see it, it’s not true.

The T18 is an SPG and SPGs rarely have decent reverse speeds on top of this most tanks have very crappy reverse speeds because they are not something that is used often. Thus they are designed that way.

Plus it is hard for a driver to see out the back.Biggest reason for a low reverse speed.

Well considering it’s a T2 TD i’m pretty sure you’ll grind it quite fast and get the T3. Unless….yea unless you are a low life statpadding faggot running at T2 killing people that registered at the game 2 hours ago and have no clue about the game whatsoever while you cunt has been playing it for months/years and have pimped out crews and equipment. Now if i’m correct pls go crawl under the rock and die.

Well, most of them are deserved, really. My only concerns are at :
1. Tiger (P) nerf. It actually finally got a chance to be on par with Tiger (H) again, but WG decided to nerf it along :/ .
2. Is it only me or the buff list is way too insignificant for some tanks? It looks like they aren’t even trying to buff it :p

Hellcat is OP (dem above 55% global WR average…), T29 is also OP, AT-7 is the best AT, M4 took a little bit of deserving nerf blow and finally T18 is nerfed. Buff list is also good although some are insignificant.

Now let’s hope that KV-1S split (remember folks, it will be split and not nerfed, so it must take more time) arrive in 9.2 and the Medium Company would be much more fun :)

Yeah, how come they didn’t nerf Soviet? They even buffed that OP SU-101 by adding 10 HP along with buffing few tier 2-4 tanks! Dang Soviet Bias!
France and China is also untouched, France Bias! China Bias!

This was my comment yesterday on FTR:

I already bought tigerP on discount this weekend to fill it with my tigerH crew…..
wg mofo’s might actually nerf tigerP too, to get european community seriously pissed off lol
At least i have some ruskie OP tanks in my garage to blow off steam meanwhile :) if you cant beat them, join them

LONG LIVE RUSSIAN TANKS!!!!! BUFF the pen and the alpha of the KV1S and give it a faster reload, 4 sec per shot should be enough, and before 9.1 goes live, nerf the tiger even harder…. ofc WG are the biggest scumbags when it comes to russian tanks, i think the way it goes is like this…. business business and even more business!!! russian player pay more they get better tanks and other nations get nerfed harder and harder so russian tank players can have more “fun” .

Now where the fucking hell is the RHM? I don’t see a list for its nerfs in here. And no nerf for T-54 either? Just what the hell, that armor, that agility, that accuracy, that camouflage value and that HEAT spam? WG you are just failure of mankind.

Geez, one of the most OP vehicles ATM and still nothing?

Also why the hell did they nerf the Tiger P? That tank has been absolutely UP after all the gold spamming and Tiger 1 buffs. Now you have decided to NERF it even more? Yeah gj.

Rhm nerfing? Why? If so, they could also nerf the hellcat…they both have a decent camo, no armor and a devastating gun for their tiers.

And T-54? Not really, it is a medium tank, so only effective in the proper hands. With under 220 penetration it’s not really that easy to play I think.
Though I got surprised by this mf*cker several times, but also by the WZ’s and Leopards, Lorr ans so on so it’s not a thing to nerf. It performs equal to the other meds.

Oh, please. T-54 has OP HEAT, excellent armor (for a medium duh) and excellent agility. It’s like a well armored light tank with the best medium penetration. The only thing it lacks is alpha which is compensated by huge DPM.

Only good armor at the turret, man! The hull is very soft and only bounces T7 and below.
I don’t really have got a problem with the T-54… the WZ-120 is much, much better with his 122mm and 249 penetration (the grind is horrible though).

I don’t really think the ARL V39 is UP, 212 pen is good enough (though the long 90mm gun has unreasonably 2.9 sec aim time and a horrible reload time, compared to the short one). What actually bugs me is that it has an even smaller profile than the Hellcat but is 2x more visible…

Also let’s hope they won’t fuck up the game even more with all the “fixes”.

As for the buffs/nerfs i only have one thing to say. alex sonny stop being dumb and wipe the foam around your mouth whenever someone mentions KV-1s in the same sentence with the word “nerf”. Your statpad tonk is safe for a bit more. No need to get upset about it.

See. This type of morons is what i like the most. Arty in it’s current state based on how much dmg it can done is quite UP, but the core mechanics of how it works is broken, but why am i explaining this to two fuckboys who have no clue about shit. It’s retard mode because it can shoot across the map(most of them), it can shoot behind solid cover, it does damage even if i doesn’t hit you directly, it can 1shot tank rather easily, it’s alpha is seriously retarded, and all that while sitting in the corner of his own base like a faggot cunt. Give that same cunt a tank and he’ll do 100 dmg on a good game.

i bought a vk2801 today, seen the buff , i was like :D
then saw hellcat being headshotted, and t29 has its dick cut off… D:
hellcat is killed by everything with he ammo, leave it alone..
unlike full-cover spaced magic armor stronkest nuclear atomicbombshooter king op kv1s.. its still shining, guess serb’s son won’t get his best tonk nerfed

They really are going all out with the tank rebalancing. Won’t judge and whine about anything yet until I see it in action but some tanks are definitely getting a proper kick in the rear. Also, I wish they would stop making the jgpanzer IV a ninja at movement and just give it a bit higher pen already!

Now to sum it up. My apologies to everyone i insulted in my comments above. I was just in a flaming mood. Whenever i called you dumb, faggot, shit, retard, moron i didn’t actually meant it. Well a little bit, but no hard feelings.

No offense taken. Since we come from different viewpoints a clash was inavoidable.
Still, I will do my best to argument against you in the future ;)
And then someday KV-1S will get nerfed, and we’ll all live happily ever after ^^

If your tiger has a 100% crew + BIA + vents + rammer then:
reload time will change from 5.52 sec to 5.61 sec
accuracy will change from 0.311 m to 0.321 m
accuracy spread when moving the turret will change from 0.11 to 0.128 (or 0.1 to 0.117 if you have 100% Snap Shot)

- 88mm L/71 reload time for stock turret changed from 9,1s to 9,3s, for elite from 8,6s to 8,8s
- 88mm L/71 accuracy nerfed from 0,34 to 0,35
- hitpoints nerfed by 100 for both turrets

That’s too bad, I just got my shiny Tiger P not that long ago and was planning to grab the Tiger I eventually. Now I have incentive to grind through both while they’re still as good as they are, thank god I didn’t get perma camo for the Tiger P.

Why did they make the Hellcat slower?? it was meant to be a fast tank destroyer. They shoulda lowered the hitpoints, possibly lowered rate of fire and accuracy and then with the already camo bonus lost that probably woulda been enough! They should also just re work the hitpoints for all the tanks anyways, cause currently it makes no sense.

LOL almost EVERY nation EXCEPT RUSSIA had tanks that got nerfed and the Russian tanks got buffed…
NOPE NO RUSSIAN BIAS HERE….
To ALL those people in game that claim there is NO RUSSIAN BIAS, we are just paranoid or wear tinfoil hats..
WAKE UP, face the facts or use the credits you earn from the battles you win to GO BUY A CLUE.

NERF the Hellcat? The things has no armor, and the DPM was shit! AND YOU NERF IT! REALLY?!

WHAT … THE … FUCK?!

The speed and the gun where the only thing that kept it alive and you will take that out … good job WG and it isn’t like there isn’t another turreted TD with 90mm in the same tier , no? … wait THE JACKSON, MUCH MORE ARMORED; FAST ENOUGH, HAS A ROOFED TURRET AND WITH THE SAME 90mm!

Frankly it isn’t my problem that the Hellcat players know how to use its tank most of the time, the Hellcat wasn’t OP and you just nerf it … good job!

and yeah no nerf to the OP-1S … I mean the KV-1S … I can’t wait to have the KV-1S splitted

Also NERF THE TIGER I?! WHY?! HP and the gun is the only thing it have on its favour, the armor isn’t worth ANYTHING?!

Seriously WG make a good investigation instead of just hearing all NERF PLEASE! whinning … also nerf the russian tanks some time please

Quit whining about the Jackson, the only well armored part on the hull is the lower plate. The upper plate is only slightly better than the M10′s. In almost every other regard, the Hellcat is currently better.

stealth, speed and alfa is the Hellcat’s game. DPM is shit and the hellcat is vulnerable with its now long reload, speed will get nerfed and the stealth might not work the next patch so now the hellcat will have nothing to it.

Nuke proof mantle? LOL it only has 76mm of amor it may save you with some RNG but I won’t trust in it have penetrated that mantlet dozens of times

The jackson is a good machine with the same 90mm, moves fast enought and the armor is more reliable and can be as good as the Hellcat in the hands of a good player the only difference is that the Hellcat has this OMG HELLCAT! air around it and the the whinning was loud enough to WG to do something

Like I said it is not my problem most Hellcats players know how to use the machine and people don’t know how to counter it.

Angling the armor (in case of Tigers) it’s good only against one enemy not when fighting 3 or 4, never the less the nerf isn’t too bad except the accuracy spread when moving the turret (he was a good scout hunter) so he won’t rust in garage.
Poor hellcat. Why the hell they nerfed him in stock configuration? I understand the nerf for elite configuration (too much in my opinion) but stock isn’t OP for sure.

For example Hellcat… if you touch is mobility and his DPM WTF is the point in hellcat now??? to be fair only is over Jackson thanks to his better camo and mobility, to be fair, Hellcats are TDs for a mission, this is ambush and retreat ASAP i never have problems with hellcats because are not hard to counter, spot a hellcat and he survive less than a sweet at school door.

Tiger… WTF they give him even worst HP than in old times??? they increase maginal his HP in 50 points to give him something but in the end doesnt compensate his free xp piñata “feature”… to be fair, yesterday in Tiger I with hull angled to the right and turret to the left a VK with 88mmL54 pen my frontal hull armor and kill me because destroy my engine and burn before can use extinger (200hp, hit of 185 damage… no time to push the buttom)… really to be the WORST tier 7 heavy in armor move under 1450 is a stupid thing specially if you touch firepower.

T29… no coments, it moves worst than a slug and now he is going to need a tank that push him.

Tiger P… OMG

The point is that with nerfs soviet heavies are going to rule… well, they do it now in hands of a decent player, is fun that many people here say “tne nerfs are to OP Tanks” but never say what can do IS or KV-3 in competent hands… they can do even more than a T29 or a Tiger.

The curious thing is that AMX1945 receive 0 buffs when is a tank that needs some love… at least increase a little ROF and aiming time, in the end is a Tiger I with less HP and a little better gun and.

Maybe WG forgive that tier 7 heavies fight A LOT VS tier 9 tanks and well, Tigers are the tanks i fear less in a tier 8-9 except maybe in a french tank.

As i say allways, “balance is to important to leave it in hands of WG”.

Other thing i really cant understand…. WTF all the nerfs in T18 and DONT REMOVE THE DAMN DERP!!!! to be fair i dont drive T18 but for me when i find one in a tier 2-3 tank the thing i find more op is the derp… he cant see tier 4 tanks and he mount a derp??? why not reduce a little his mobility BUT remove derp???

That buff to the VK 30.01 Porsche sounds like fun. This tank’s become one of my favourites lately, the 8,8 being really fun on a T6 medium… [I never managed to get the short 8,8 to "work for me" on the JP-IV... But that was like 2k battles go... ;)]

Not so sure on the HP nerf for the Henschel Tiger, in my experience everyone knows to aim for the lower frontal plate anyways garantueing hits (crits…) and a good amount of damage already. It Tiger “needed” that RoF reduction, though. A round every 5,6 seconds from a good crew is overkill…
Also not so sure about that RoF nerf for the Tiger (P), though. It’s already pretty average DPM wise in relation to the other T7 heavies. And it’s armor is a lot of a “Paper Tiger” (no pun inteded) compared to a hull down T29…

And I love the Hellcat nerf. Maybe people will start using it with the historical 76mm and get some reasonable DPM instead of the almighty 90mm (which it never should have had in the first place, the Jackson was the only tank with the 90mm).

This is quite disturbing. Although I do not usually complain about any patch they (Wargaming) distributes, this patch is a little peculiar.

1. The Tiger I (H) is in fact my most beloved prizefighting tank in-game. With an average exp (non-premium) 848 exp and the top exp record of 2943 (in one game).

Let’s make this simple. The amount of people who hate the tiger for it’s armor, about 20% who played it, the number of people who hate it for it’s sluggish speed, another 20%, those who hate it for the turret speed and low damage role per shot from the 88 mm gun… another 15-20%. Those who hate the Tiger I (H) just because it is German, well I am guessing 5-10%. Thinking about it, who many people actually play and ENJOY the Tiger I (H)? I have only met a hand-full of people (IF I AM WRONG then please CORRECT me) who like or even say “MEH” to the Tiger I (H).

When going toe-to-toe with a Tiger P, T29, IS, KV-3, AMX M4 mle .45, you will understand that 8/10 times the Tiger I will win, due to great DPM (please consider the fact both tanks are shooting at each other in an open field with no covering to weak spots and are shooting AP rounds). However, this IS the trademark of the Tiger I (H). The armor of the tank is nothing to be proud of, in fact compared side-by-side with other tier 7 heavy tanks of the different national branches, the Tiger I (H) has the most underwhelming armor. The Tank is slow, sluggish and the traverse does not save this. The Turret traverse is what makes hellcat drivers laugh hard. the only thing that upholds the Tiger I (H) in it’s place is it’s great DPM, which is still no match against 2 or 3 tanks shooting at it.

Tiger all out.

Armor V.S. Hit Points
The flaw of having no armor, is compensated by 1,500 HP, the biggest among any tier 7 tank. BALANCED WELL

Aim time V.S. Accuracy
The low 2.9 (NON GERMAN-LIKE) aim time, is compensated by an average 0.34 accuracy.

So what is the nerf for? You nerf what is good of a German tank and I cannot help to say this but this is quite disturbing how you nerf tanks that can EQUALLY match the tanks of the USSR or Americans, in other words, BIAS.

Wargaming, if you were to nerf any German tank in the game I suggest with the Waffentrager E-100 as a top first priority. Do not go hating on Tiger I (H)s for smacking Soviet Russia hard during WWII.

Tiger P was already sh!te, both KV-3 and IS were far superior to it IMO, but now.. Seriously, DPM was already thrash (alpha is thrash too), now they further nerf it along with the accuracy. But the HP nerf, lol. But to nerf the ancient OP KV-1S, no, never, impossibru. Rather nerf already thrash germans… At least then nerf the actually OP germans like Rhm, ffs..
